Research expertise at 4CMR is divided between a series of Research Themes producing fundamental research into the methods, theories and data needed to assess climate policies. In practice these Research Themes are closely connected due to the interdisciplinary nature of 4CMR. These advances are then applied in specific projects.
Conservation, Development and Sustainable Land Use
Law, policy and finance for sustainable land development
Economics of Avoiding Climate Change
E3ME: a macroeconometric model of the global economy
Energy Systems Modelling
ESM Research: the Future Technology Transformations (FTT) project
Integrated Climate Impacts Assessment
Assessing the impact of climate mitigation and adaptation policies using systems models
Supply Chains and Input-Output Models for Decarbonisation
Developing environmentally extended input-output models to assess greenhouse gas reduction across production layers and supply chains of the global economy.
Vulnerability and Adaptation
Identifying and reducing vulnerability of the built environment and economies to climate change at community, national and global scale
